But, this makes the 3rd year in a roll LSU has got a commitment from the #1 ranked player in another state....

Virginia for this year.

I think he meant "a state besides LA", when he said "another state".

Not much difference between one and two, Simms is also good.

I think VA has too much pride to put a guy that looks like predator in the top spot.

Yeah, and Hunter is going to go up. If you disagree, you haven't seen his film.

Hunter is an amazing talent, but stealing VA's top player really doesn't compare to stealing the number one from FL and TX.

I think the bigger deal is that we are going a bit more national in our recruiting prowess. Plus Va is a pretty talent rich state in its own right FWIW.

Alot of talent in Virginia ...

Good point.

It's no TX or FL in terms of talent and it's not like we had to battle an in state power like UT or UF/FSU/Miami to get him.

That's what I was basing my claim on.

Seems like we battled 15 or more other schools which included 2 Virginia schools and West Virginia for Hunter..

Huge pick-up for LSU...
